Improvement in ladies  paper undersleeves



UNITEDv STATES PATENT OFFICE.

HELEN MrREMINGTON, OF SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 54,773, dated May 15, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, HELEN M. REMINGTON, of Springlield, Hampden county, Commonwealth ot' Massachusetts, haveinvented a new and useful PaperUndersleeve; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

In these drawings, Figurel shows the sleeve in use, and Fig-.2 is a detail View of the same.

My invention consists of forming undersleeves of paper, and in a paper prepared for this purpose and similar articles.

The material of which this sleeve is madeis similar to that employed for my paper shirt for which a patent was granted me on the lst of May, 1866; and it consists in interposing between two thicknesses of tissue-papera preparation of oil or fatty substance, which may be made of white wax and lard, which renders it perspiration and water proof, and another preparation to prevent this oil from striking through to the outside of the paper-a solution of glue.

The advantages of such au article ot' manufacture as undersleeves of paper can be readily seen, as they are little exposed to strains or tears, and can be cheaply made, and in appearance precisely similar to cloth undersleeves, and when soiled can be thrown away, as the expense is slight.

Now, having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. As a new article of manufacture, a paper undersleeve, substantially as described.

2. The material composed of two thicknesses of paper, with an oily substance to render it water-proof, and a suitable preparation to prevent this oiI from striking' through to the outside, substantially as described.

H. M. REMINGTON.
